Just been watching some videos.
None of that dirt track pick up truck slo-mo or epic weather stuff here, just mates having a laugh.
(it just so happens they're all some of the best riders in the world)

Here's another one which will embed

Any more in a similar vein?

Yeah, Dirt is pretty much the original none race based mtb vid.

The edits in the first post are really good.

I know but he was on a klein in the one I'm remembering. Showed him doing the bombhole during Malvern. Must have been around 90/91 I think.

Needs to be the full URL qwerty:

Edit: He's another one that's been around for years. I remember he reviewed the Redline BMX I bought in 90/91 - so that's at least 23 years of vert ramp riding!

Simon Tabron. First to do a 900 on vert IIRC. Same sort of time as Tony Hawk did his 900 at the XGames. Mid to late 90s.

He was the sole Brit mixing it up with the big name Yanks of the time. Massive airs, smooth as silk.

Last time I sax BMX vert on the X Games Jamie Bestwick was still winning it by miles with about twice as much air as the others. Amazing how long he's been top of the game.
